Description
The project aims to increase the energy production from renewable sources, reduce CO2 emissions and increase the security of supply. The project will achieve these objectives by implementing infrastructure works (construction and mining of geothermal sources) on the well Korenovo GT-1 to exploit geothermal energy, with the ultimate planned combined use of produced energy (district heating and commercial use). Geothermal energy obtained from the Korenovo GT - 1 well will be used for heating purposes to supply the planned sport and recreation complex in Veliki Korenovo with thermal energy, future Korenovo Business Zone, and planned greenhouse agricultural production in the Veliko Korenovo area.
The City of Bjelovar will work with two partners: Terme Bjelovar d.o.o and Efla from Iceland. The end-beneficiaries of this project are users of the sport and recreation complex services, entrepreneurs in the Korenovo Business Zone and farmers who will use geothermal energy for production. All residents of the local area where the project is being implemented will benefit due to air quality increase, CO2 emissions reduction, and economic development.
There are three activities through which the project will be implemented:
1. Pilot project - construction or revitalization of production and injection wells in areas with a valid permit for exploration and/or extraction of geothermal waters.
2. Project management and administration activities.
3. Promotion and visibility activities.
